Pensilvania, 1989. Cuatro músicos forman Echolyn — siempre en minúscula, por decisión propia — y durante más de tres décadas construyen en silencio uno de los catálogos más honestos del prog rock americano. Sin grandes sellos, sin grandes campañas, sin grandes ruidos. Solo música.
En marzo de 2025 publicaron simultáneamente dos álbumes, TimeSilentRadio vii y TimeSilentRadio II, coincidiendo además con el 30 aniversario de su mítico As The World. (REZONATZ) La crítica especializada los ha recibido como la colección de canciones más madura y mejor sonando de toda su carrera.
"Tiny Star" cierra el primero de los dos discos. Arranca con piano y guitarra acústica radiantes, con voces celestiales y percusión luminosa, y va creciendo hasta hacerse cada vez más terapéutica y sofisticada. (Loudwire) La letra es un abrazo directo al oyente: entre tu esperanza y tu desesperanza, eres una pequeña estrella. Todo lo que necesitas.
Lyrics:
I've wanted to say something more
But can't find the time between broken lines
Of comet tails that burn across our sky
The angry word that we spoke today
Lingers on as we're running to stay
It's a ripping tide, that pulls us all astray
The harder things that we're learning to try
They're taking time as we're learning to fly
Are they worth the time?
Are they worth the time we're giving?
Every moon rises differently
It all depends on your galaxy
Between your hope and hopelessness
You are a tiny star
Ever wonder just how you are?
Would you travel just as far
To find the place you want to be
To be a tiny star?
We don't really have to rise to find
On the eve of something less inviting
All the movements are the same
The rain don't care that it's falling
All the voices tell me to ignore it
But my own won't let it be
The air don't care whose lungs it's filling
So on we blur, so on we blur
Every moon rises differently
It all depends on your galaxy
Between your hope and hopelessness
You are a tiny star
Ever wonder just how you are?
Would you travel just as far
To find the place you want to be
To be a tiny star?
All you need
All you need
All you need
Is to be a tiny star
